Our days, Sydney. The famous restorer Hannah Heath begins work on the legendary “Sarajevo Haggadah” - one of the most ancient illustrated manuscripts in Hebrew. Step by step, Hannah reveals the secrets of the manuscript - and looks into the past of the people who kept this book...Back - through the centuries. Farther and farther. From Nazi-occupied Southern Europe to the lush and luxurious Vienna of the heyday of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. From Venice in the era of the decline of the Most Serene Republic - to medieval Africa and Spain during the times of Isabella and Ferdinand. The book reveals secret after secret - and gradually Hannah learns the story of its creator - a beautiful Saracen woman who managed to occupy a prominent position at the court of the Andalusian emir. A fascinating story of forbidden love, mortal danger and great self-sacrifice...
